TITLE: Can't Keep It In
Lyrics and Chords


Oh, I can't keep it in
I can't keep it in, I've gotta let it out
I've gotta show the world, world's gotta see
See all the love, love that's in me
I said, why walk alone
Why worry when it's warm over here
You've got so much to say, say what you mean
Mean what you think, and then think anything

/ A - / E - / D - / E - / :

Oh why
Why must you waste your life away
You've got to live for today, then let it go, oh
Lover
I want to spend this time with you
There's nothing I wouldn't do, if you let me know, oh, oh

/ A - / F#m - / A E G#m B / :

And I can't keep it in
I can't hide it and I can't lock it away
I'm up for your love, love heat's my blood
Blood spins my head and my head falls in love
Oh, I can't keep it in
I can't keep it in, I've gotta let it out
I've gotta show the world, world's got to know
Know of the love, love that lies low

So why can't you say
If you know, then why can't you say
You've got too much deceit, and deceit kills the light
Light has to shine, I said shine light, shine light

Love
That's no way to live your life
You allow too much to go by, and that won't do, no
Lover
I want to have you here by my side
Now, don't you run, don't you hide while I'm with you, oh, oh
